and i think it's fair to say how he is using doj to aid donald trump. of the durham investigation, it's been going on for a very long time. obviously, investigations end when they end. but why would that still be open? and by keeping it open past this 90-day mark, what is the norm and then tell me what to expect from barr. >> so, the norm, assuming that john durham has sufficient predication for a criminal investigation is that in advance of an upcoming election, there are no overt steps that are taken. no report is issued, no indictments are brought, and that is a norm throughout the department of justice, and is adhered to religiously. and the concern is, we're 90 days out. what the attorney general is capable of is what he has done already, which is to talk about that he's very disturbed by what he's hearing in the durham investigation. he's not supposed to be commenting on that at all. and if you think about his boss, which is the president of the united states, remember, the president of the united states was impeached on the ground that he was ask

why did the trump doj go friday night to change control of that office? we asked about that in our reporting. some of the experts in analysis said it was possible there was some sort of case that barr wanted to stop. it was possible he was continuing the pattern of interventions that he's done with other was ons like d.c. today i want you to have all the facts. the justice department said no. they are asserting that he was briefed in advance of this high profile arrest of steve bannon which is a defense that they say barr was not meddling. many doj say that his meddling in other cases is enough proof they've been calling on him to resign. the issues go higher than bill barr. a president breaking records for convictions with the people who held the number one position, mafr and bannon, in his election campaign are now indicted. and president trump's response? well, it's been to demand the doj spare his indicted friends, to punish his enemies, to investigate people that he disagrees with. to punish people for exercising their first amendment rights. if he f

my crystal ball because the last 3 1/2 years have been so unpredictable and so many homes in at the doje been busted. we're now 90 days -- within 90 days of the election and that's the hands-off period from doj, no longer takes any steps that could impact an election. but the attorney general has explicitly disavowed his obligation to follow that policy, he's changed the policy and centralized control of actions in his office and he's repeatedly promised that there will be public revelations about the durham indictment. the best thing that we can do at this point is inoculate the american public against bill barr's october surprise and point out how wrong it is for anyone at doj to take steps that could influence an election especially so close to an election that there can't be a response and a full review of the facts, we all know that it's easy to make allegations and announce investigations, it's important to know whether there's any substance to them and i think that's what we all fear may come out of the dur mam investigation. >> frank, is it a given that the russians already have

the doj will appeal that ruling. former secretary of state james baker and his wife are being treated for covid-19 at their home in houston. baker's senior advisor saying the couple, quote, felt crummy but have not required hospitalization. the two believed they were exposed last week while visiting family in wyoming. and louisiana senator bill cassidy is quarantining after testing positive for covid-19. cassidy, who is a doctor, caught the virus after being probation exposed to an infected person. the first ever u.s. air force dogfight similarity competition between human and artificial intelligence goes to the ai. the ai virtually shooting down a u.s. air force top gun in five rounds of mock air combat. the human by lookout said he couldn't keep up with the robot's aggressive tactics raising questions of the future of air-to-air combat. look at your headlines. send it back to you, ainsley. ainsley: thank you so much, jillian. today lori loughlin and her husband will be sentenced in the college admission scandal.

that is the way that the doj does help but they could do more. i think that has to be done on a national basis is a registry for officers who have had a serious misconduct complaint or been terminated. -- local or even state , pleasepplying for jobs officers move all over the country. police departments need a safe and reliable way to find out whether an applicant has been terminated from another police department or has had a serious use of force complaint. those are things i think can be done at the national level. joey: i think those are huge. commissioner, if i could get personal for a minute, not too personal. you went from one extreme to another. tremendous things in new orleans and then you came into baltimore. things were pretty hot. i want to ask you from a personal perspective, how did you deal with that? how did you instill trust in the community? how did you let officers know that you protect them and have their back but at the same time, have expectations that they will do their job and not in piedmont people's rights? how have you b

doj, 300 havehe been arrested and charged amid the riots and unrest. democrats are late to the game. i have highlighted this issue for while this president is always willing to show up, it is incumbent on democrats to step up. invite federal law enforcement in. we stand ready to be don't tolerate anarchy and destruction. writing is not a right. secure your streets. president trump will visit kenosha tomorrow, he will show up and go to cities where they are hurting and with that, i will take questions. >> does the president have any current plans to meet with the family of jacob blake? >> currently the plans are to meet with business owners and local law enforcement. more details will be forthcoming. >> he's not scheduled to meet with them. >> correct. >> who has the white house reached out to in the family of jacob blake? why has a connection not been made? >> i refer you to what the chief of staff office tweeted. part of it has gone directly to families. >> he said he thought the shooting of jacob blake was justified and that he would learn more about

nationally according to the doj, , 300 have been arrested and charged amid the riots and unrest. democrats are late to the game. i have stood behind this podium and highlighted this issue for months. while this president is always willing to show up, it is incumbent on democrats to step up. invite federal law enforcement and we stand ready. do not tolerate anarchy and destruction. rioting is not a right. secure your streets. president trump will visit kenosha, wisconsin tomorrow. he will show up and go to cities where they are hurting and with that, i will take questions. >> does the president have any current plans to meet with the family of jacob blake? >> currently the plans are to meet with local law enforcement and some business owners. but there will be more details forthcoming. >> so he is not scheduled to meet with them? >> not currently. house has the white reached out to in jacob blake's family, and why has there not been able to be a cook -- connection based since he was shot? >> i refer you to what the chief of staff office tweeted. part of it has gone directly to fam

. >> do you believe the doj has everyone been or to believe the doj can actually charge someone under the logan act? >> can it? frankly i've never engaged in the analysis because we were not adequate to make a final determination to whether general flynn will be charged under the logan act. what i was trying to make clear to senator graham, that was not the prism through whiche we were examining this. >> did you ever seriously consider prosecuting flynn under the logan act? >> we did not make an official decision when i was there but i believed it was very unlikely that we'll prosecute them under the logan act. it wasas a counterintelligence threat, not a criminal prosecution of the logan act that was the focus. >> thank you ms. yates. >> senator coons. >> thank you, chairman graham and ranking member feinstein. thank you, ms. yates for your 20 some years of service to the united states department of justice and foror your testimony here today. let me just begin at the outset sort of a framing here. do youou have any doubt that russian attack the united states during the 2016 presiden

the doj found there was no legitimate basis for the fbi's investigation and for bringing the case.as. great to have you back on, sir. the solicitor general at this hearing essentially indicating a.g. barr saw evidence that, it seems legal experts say was so egregious, that is what triggered the doj dropping the case against michael flynn. your reaction to that statement made by the solicitor general in the hearing in the circuit court? >> absolutely. great to be with you, liz. my reaction is, i can't wait to see what this evidence is. we know there was all kind of could corruption, all kinds of bending and breaking of the rule here. let's see what it is. it is high time the judge drop this case and quit obstructing. general flynn was obviously railroaded. we want to see some justice here. elizabeth: flynn's attorney, sidney powell will be a guest with us again tomorrow night on "the evening edit." she told the d.c. court again that the judge sullivan here is acting like a prosecutor. that he is biased here. your reaction to sidney powell's statements today? >> i couldn't agree more

the feds tear gassing peaceful protestors while trump has publicly demanded the doj favor his alliesd abused power against his political opponents. he's our special guest right now. thank you for joining the beat. >> thank you. it's great to be here. >> it's great to have you. with no offense intended, sir, you are not considered a radical street protester or a radical member of the resistance. i mentioned your republican credentials, so when someone like you says that donald trump's re-election concerns you about autocracy, what do you mean? >> well, i think my reaction and i think that of a number of us on this list of people who have come out for vice president biden, we were lawyers all of us in various republican administrations. and we have an abiding, most of us in the justice department and we have an abiding loyalty and a belief in the rule of law as it's been practiced. you know, and the times that we've had our careers in the government. and what we've watched in this administration is just a tremendous disrespect for the law and in terms of the operation of the department

doj has confirmed they are investigating this shooting. could see federal criminal charges if the police officers willfully deprive jacob blake of his civil rights. now here the constitutional right is the fourth amendment right to be free of up reasonable search and seizure. legally a shooting is an extreme force of a seizure, a police seesing a person's body. now, doj has charged police officers using this law before, but there also have been incidences, controversial incidences where doj has declined to charge under this statute. understand this is a high bar legally. some reform advocates want to change the law and make it easier to charge police officers federally so that could be one of the longer term outcomes of this case. >> we'll be watching. i want to switch topics for a moment because this week was the republican national convention and we saw multiple federal employees participating in this political event. under the hatch act, federal employees are not permitted to engage in political activities while on duty wearing an offic

that shows you how politicizes the deep state was and the doj and fbi.nd corruption and malfeasance at the fbi, there were others involved in this. would you point the finger at people like former cia director john brennan who appears to have been the instigator of the russia hoax and who may have politicized intelligence to target trump? >> well, first of all, if any of these actors, any of these individuals who you heard their names many times on many different news programs. if any of them lied to congress. if they lied to the american people. if they falsified documents or knew that documents were false and represented them to be true, they all should be held criminally responsible f they're not held criminally responsible that is not going to prevent that type of atrocity from happening again. absolutely. i've done a few investigations in my time as a jag officer. you work yourself up to those that are the biggest examples and those who you want to indict later in your investigation. so hopefully during ham is making his way to those individuals who

or do you believe these doj can charge someone under the logan act? >> can it? senator i never engaged in that analysis because we were not making a final determination whether general flynn would be charged and i was trying to make clear to senator graham that is the prism for which we are examining this. >> did you ever seriously consider trusty kitting flynn under the logan act? >> we did make an official decision when i was there but i leave it's very unlike you would prosecute him under the logan act. again it was a counterintelligence threat not a criminal prosecution of the logan act. >> thank you ms. yates. >> mr. coons. >> thank you for your testimony here today. let me begin at the outset in a framing here do you have any doubt that russia attacks the united states during the 2016 presidential election with the intention of changing the outcome or implementing the outcome of the election? >> no. >> give any reason to be concerned that the russians may in fact be trying to do that again for the 2020 election? >> i think all of us should worry

judge morgan: there are a couple of things that the doj can do. resuming the pattern of practice investigation. and also help police departments a t want to reform without full pattern and practice investigation and without a onsent decree and the d.o.j. does do grants to local police help thems that could revised their policy and improve their training and accountability. that is the way that the doj does, some extent they do grants, but they can do more to departments. the other thing i think that has to be done on a national basis is a registry for officers who have had a serious misconduct complaint or been terminated. the local -- local -- or can't do it on a local state level. because people applying for jobs as police officers move all over country. police departments need a safe and reliable way to find out whether an applicant has been terminated from another police department or has had a serious use of force complaint. those are things i think can be done at the national level. joey: i think those are huge. commissioner, if i could get

>> homeland security investigators are working with the fbi and doj.they have a number of cases open and i think what we will see over the next 30 days is you will see a lot more activity coming out of the department of justice and charging individuals. >> there are riots, destructive riots all over the country in a number of different cities. without revealing the final ready to you are not do, are you finding organizing groups? are you finding commonality in terms of what is happening? >> overall, we are in individual cities. i have not seen the intelligence they are coordinating across multiple cities, but what we do see time and time again is violent opportunists -- individuals that do not perhaps have an ideology but are taking advantage of and opportunity in portland where 60 days you can show up and do any kind of violent things and no repercussions. see violent anarchists trying to burn down a courthouse. -- we see an for organizing.ng and that hasee boogaloo -- been attributed there in portland as well, so we see a number of violent extremists

how are we making sure -- and again, this is not within judiciary or doj's behavior -- but how do weroduce more american students that are conversant in ai and quantum? how do we improve that workforce so we have a talented pool of people that can then be drawn upon in order to be competitors? so my tactic would be, how do you create an environment to increase competition? again, what the focus of those investigations are, i haven't been briefed on the latest status from the. , youngressman hurd have talked about the need for a more holistic approach when it comes to cybersecurity. and knowing some of the bad actors in this arena, where does alexion's security for into this? rep. hurd: sure. look, alexion security is something that i've been following prior to the 2016 election. i hurt -- held the first hearing about russian involvement in our elections prior to the election actually completing. the russians were trying to influence our elections. they were trying to so dissent. the steps taken since then to defend the digital infrastructure of vote counting machines, the amount of m

it's one of the probably ten people involved in terms of the doj and the fbi with the clinton campaigno think, lou, as frustrating as it is, we are making progress. lou: it is progress, i would acknowledge. and i am delighted that kevin clinesmith is going to be the standing before a, well, as it turns out, the head of the fisa court that he betrayed. but he will be doing so, standing before that judge, in his role as district court judge, federal district court judge. i mean, isn't that a little screwed up, that we would have -- [laughter] a conflict like that on the bench? i am in no way a sympathizer for clinesmith, but it just looks ludicrous. >> it does. i saw that today. i was a little bit shocked. just to reiterate so your viewers understand, the fisa court, there are, i don't know, about i think 6-9 youngs that make up -- judges that make up the fisa court. of course, we've been investigating for a long time. it just so happened the new head of that fisa court who's now in charge of that a fisa court who also sits as an existing judge, as you said, is somehow in charge of this

previousst, what the doj did was politicize law enforcement. the obama administration's appetizer -- sabotaged the trump transition, they spied on members of trump campaign, they employed aggressive tactics, senior fbi officials carried over from the obama administration carried on their abuses into the trump administration and into the impeachment stamp and all the last -- all the rest. let me ask you one question. president obama's attorney general eric holder referred to himself as president obama's wing man. he said in an interview "i'm still enjoying what i'm doing, there is still work to be done, i am still the presidents wing man." is it the duty of the attorney general to be the presidents wing man? a.g. barr: i've already described what i think the duty of the attorney general is. rep. johnson: in your office you are then free to act independent of the president, isn't that clue -- isn't that true? a.g. barr: it is true, especially on criminal cases it is required. rep. johnson: that is exactly what he is asked you to do. lofgren?er: m

officers. >> so you would have consider those doj officers against peaceful protesters? >> that's good to know. last week the aclu to questions from multiple journalist who swore under oath federal agents in portland specifically attacked them even though they were unmistakably marked press one journalist was shot in the chest and they were aiming a tear gas canister at his head while they were filming them using force against other protesters in one said conflict zones including isys as he did by federal agents in portland he had never beenwi treated such did you ever tell them not to use force against journalist? >> not only that in portland specifically, that was is a subject approved for discussion authors can address that subject but it was addressed as well. >> so as a result of your investigation of the targeting of journalistsus. >> that is not our intention but we do investigate every single use of force so i can tell you every single one of them will be reviewed. >> with you tell the committee what the results arere? >> once we have them, yes. >> when will you

fortunately, most departments, if presented with a doj investigation, agreed to a consent decree. that's a regular suit. it becomes an order of the court in federal court. then the judges play a part in helping the city implement that consent decree. a big part of it is that courts typically hire a monitoring team to help them. it's not something a judge can do on her own. that's a very big part of it. i've been very active -- actively engaged. because what you need is someone who can bring parties together. when you get met with the response of, why are we doing it that way? because that's the way we've always done it. i say, well it's not the way we're always doing it anymore. i can help move forward. the city's goal is to reach the terms of the consent decree and working towards completing all the agreements and getting out from under federal court supervision. a way to do that is coming into full appliance of the consent decree. i have to be clear with them about what is going to take to find them in compliance and then monitoring to help them get them there. >> judge, this is

to put it simply, dhs and doj office officers, law enforcement officers, civil law enforcement officersere abandoned due to the dangerous policies by local officials. the cooperation and assistance our federal officers received in any other city around the country did not exist in portland. let me briefly address several inaccurate statements offered by some as the events played out in portland. our law enforcement officers are not an occupying force. they are not serving as a general domestic security agency. they have been deployed for an extended period of time to one city, and that's portland. it's to protect federal properties. our law enforcement officers are not stormtroopers or thugs. they are civil law enforcement officers who wear clearly marked uniforms who are properly trained who follow establish law enforcement procedures and practices and operate within their authorities. it's been suggested our law enforcement officers should not be in portland if not invited by state or local officials. and while our preference is always to partner with local and state law enforcement e

and so we don't have that base that the doj has. but having said that, if you want to give us authority, we will, of course, enforce it. but depending on exactly what you pass, it might require a lot of increased manpower on our part in order to do that. and also, depending on what you pass, if it looks something like a professional regulation like where you're regulating agents or things like that, and any kind of certification or any type of way, i think that would be not particularly suited for our agency. >> thank you. over the past few months, we have seen the pandemic add new volatility to our food supply chain. and that requires a massive shift in logistics. and amid the financial strain, consumers are trying to stock up on food while producers and retailers are doing their best to insure that the grocery shelves are stocked. the ftc has an important responsibility to help safeguard america's food supply. mr. chairman, in terms of the ftc's role, what policies do you feel would be most effective to focus on for maintaining a

the doj under obama and the fbi under president obama and vice president biden are tried to create --d to create this thing that is beyond russian propaganda. ♪ ♪ because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. find your get-up-and-go. find pants that aren't sweats. find your friends. find your sense of wander. find the world is new, again. at chevy we'd like to take you there. now during the chevy open road sales event, get up to 15% of msrp cash back on select 2020 models. that's over fifty-seven hundred dollars cash back on this equinox. it's time to find new roads, again. 1 in 5 people you meet wear yeah. that many! but right now,

doj recall, it could be the , but a federal agency has been looking into this.tok has responded in a way that it would be very interesting. as soon as the news came out, the other news was that they were in talks with microsoft to be sold off to microsoft, which would be interesting, that tiktok splits off from its original chinese holding company, and that to me seems to be the tension we are talking about, whether or not tiktok can free itself in the near-term in order to take advantage of its clearly growing popularity. it is a massive change, and it could be a massive change within the social media space. and only just as earlier this month, or last month, they opened up for advertising. you are seeing this company develop quickly, and it is popular, and there is a lot of movement happening. at the end of the day with trump, i think president trump have to figure out a pretty artful way to do this, because at least from my understanding, there is not a clear articulation or easy way to deal with it with the legal problems of trying to force this company out

today as ivanka said we celebrate leaders and ngos as the doj announces the grant recipients. during my 10 year combating human trafficking i've witnessed amazing accomplishments that survivors go on to achieve when they are provided with the appropriate services these housings so deserve. from survivor leaders to victim service providers law enforcement unity leaders, healthcare providers, educators, faith-based organizations and government officials we all have an important part to play in combating human trafficking. this is truly an all hands on deck strategic effort and the collaboration is key . now i'd like to transition to our ngo providers and survivor leaders you see around the table for some of their remarks and i'd like to ask lawson from the jordan community research center in greater cleveland to share about their work to provide transitional housing to women in their community . >> greetings everyone. i feel honored and privileged today to serve and advocate for women who have been trafficked exploited and muted. i myself being trafficked as a young adult unders

jillian: former deputy assistant attorney general at the doj john malcolm react to the new development in the russia probe. todd: israel giving a stark warning launching new airstrikes on the militant group in the gaza strip. jillian: in retaliation after bombs and rockets into israel. live in tel aviv tensions continue to rise. >> reporter: a senior hamas official tells fox news this new round of tension started because israel is not living up to its obligations and long-standing agreements as the humanitarian situation in gaza continues to dysuria. the israelis targeted gaza with a number of airstrikes after dozens of ied balloons were lost over the border, starting fires across the southern part of the country. a rocket was launched from gaza and intercepted by israel's missile defense system. this new tension is grading greater each day as factions are using tactics like balloon launches, nighttime confusion units and rockets to pressure israel. the israelis stopped fuel going into gaza and signs crossing restrictions. responding multiple might over the past week with airstrikes. a

he hasn't said there is more to come because if he did there would be a violation of doj policy and he wouldn't be foolish in that way. siobhan he met -- >> thanks, have a good weekend. donald trump gearing up for a battleground as the democratic national convention kicks off monday virtually. we have kevin cork tracking the president's move with election day just 81 days away. you are watching that. >> reporter: great to see you. as a general who in politics don't negotiate from the podium but donald trump today laid out all his cards for the world to see with respect to more funding for the postal service and fair to say it seems at least in part politically expedient. what the american people want, giving it to the american people. i would do that. >> do what, us? the democrats request for $25 billion for the postal service including billions to bolster mail in voting if they are willing to bow on some of his concessions but on twitter the president repeatedly accused democrats of holding up funding for ppe, payments for small business, additional pay for law enforcement, even addit

francie hayes worked with yates for 20 years at the doj. what can we learn from this? a few hours sally yates will be in the hot seat over her role in the fbi's russia probe. >> questions the senator was once answered. >> reporter: sally yates will save face a firestorm of questions from republicans investigating the origin of the russia probe. he expects the grilled about an oval office meeting she attended in 2017 with president obama and james comey about national security information being shared with michael flynn, charged with lying to the fbi, his attorney says yates have a lot of questions to answer. >> we know now from the record they told her they believed general flynn and he showed no indications of any deception and yet the very next day she runs to the white house not once but two times to get general flynn fired. todd: this includes reviewing probes into carter page and the alleged abuse of fisa warrants. lindsey graham says that will come up in today's hearing. >> the warrant application in january, against carter page, there was no there there. if she

if this does not call for a cleaning of house at the doj and fbi, i don't know what is. bruce orr is still on the payroll. sen. graham: senator cowan's. -- coons. we are on a five-minute break. we will take a break for miss yates. >> those remarks are inflammatory. the witness ought to be able to respond, if she chooses. sen. graham: she certainly may. let me give my two cents worth, i don't think they are inflammatory at all. bruce orr is apparently going rogue. you got her deputy organizing meetings and he tells the fbi, you need to watch steele. what is going on over there? sen. hawley: with all due respect, we have a deliberate and systematic misleading of a federal court here. i don't think you can say anything more inflammatory than what the federal court said when they issued an incredible statement. saying that they now had no confidence in any of the submissions of the guy based on the level of lying. sen. graham: everybody is to blame, and a buddy is to blame. we will take a five-minute break and let her respond. >> missy yates, are you ready? yates, are you re

lying to a doj prosecutor. trump's already been impeached for one foreign election plot and on defense, thwarted by voting by mail and some of his own party warning americans, warning you about what he did as news you can use, apparently, before the next election. that's the breakdown of the facts. now let's bring in our experts. former federal prosecutor, john flannery. other legal voices reminded us throughout the miller probe that the criminal bar is different than other things. this is an exhaustive report, i just highlighted a few facts for viewers, separate from criminal liability. what is your view? what is your view of what you found here? is it okay? >> no, it's not okay. and it adds additional information of what we suspected all along. which is that they were using middlemen between the campaign and russia to help influence the election in favor of trump and the russians are doing that in the primary, they were doing that in the general election. and the campaign manager talking to now identified as

they told the doj it has no plans to change its admission practices on, quote, a hasty accusation. university says its practices comply with decades of supreme court precedence with race as one of many factors for admissi admission. let's talk about this. joining me, msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. let's talk about the numbers on the screen for acceptances. how does a charge like this get leveled, in fact? break this down for us. >> the doj cites a statistic that asian-americans and white applicants are one-fourth to one-tenth as likely to get admissions as black applicants who are comparable applicants, and that last part is what vexed this issue by the supreme court issued many decades ago. what is that? is that straight up grade or a holistic view, looking at the entire student, were they in marching brand, were they in done jens & dragons club -- hello, by the way -- what was it besides classes and grades. the supreme court has never really defined what exactly diversity is and what the goals of diversity are. >> i talked about number, and i want to bring that up. 20% of gr

however at the doj it is only 3% on the year in part because they had this carryover provision. there are interesting public fixes that can be brought to bear. republicant the ranking member on the armed to gets committee wanted this amendment and for the department of defense of they could carry over 50%. very reasonable and it did not go into that bill this year. host: let's hear from sabrina from north carolina. caller: i was wondering if you could give me advice. i am concerned about how much money is taken by the child support system and is unaccounted for. i feel like they are robbing the american people because they are taking the federal income tax returns from the lower income levels. basically they are taking all of the money and putting it directly into the government system. i was wondering if you had advice for me on how i can possibly get them to stop doing that. guest: i am unfamiliar with the details on that, but generally what i would like to say, all of these examples of waste, whether it is the end of your spending spree, every dollar that is wasted on public

if this does not call for a cleaning of house at the doj and fbi, i don't know what is. bruce orr is still on the payroll. sen. graham: senator cowan's. -- coons. we are on a five-minute break. we will take a break for miss yates. >> those remarks are inflammatory. the witness ought to be able to respond, if she chooses. sen. graham: she certainly may. let me give my two cents worth, i don't think they are inflammatory at all. bruce orr is apparently going rogue. you got her deputy organizing meetings and he tells the fbi, you need to watch steele. what is going on over there? sen. hawley: with all due respect, we have a deliberate and systematic misleading of a federal court here. i don't think you can say anything more inflammatory than what the federal court said when they issued an incredible statement. saying that they now had no confidence in any of the submissions of the guy based on the level of lying. sen. graham: everybody is to blame, and a buddy is to blame. yates, are you ready?nute bre s >> hello? >> mr. chairman? sen. graham: yes sir. if iile we are waitin

wasn't yates, but weapon icing doj herself? >> why, yes.e known sally yates a long time in the us attorney's office in atlanta, right about the same time colleagues for 7 years and that was a bit rich. i like sally gates but there is no question what is coming out is the justice department and intelligence community and the world's most powerful law enforcement agency, the fbi appear to have been weapon eyes to to go after a political opponent specifically donald trump and members of the trump campaign and they did it by falsifying information to obtain a warrant to wiretap campaign workers. it is hypocritical of her to say that. whether it happened with her knowledge i can't say but it certainly happened under her watch. todd: ja to tax the travel ban. why? >> don't know if it was a bad strategy as much is shameful and unlawful. the supreme court disagreed with her and upheld the constitutionality of the travel ban. her job at the time as acting attorney general, she seeks that policy or a law is defense a bowl. and if she is offended by a

doj is reviewing facts in regards to this case as well. >> omar, thank you so much.two people were kill in kenosha as part of that arrest last night. largest protests to date over the killing of another black american demanding justice for breonna taylor. patience is running thin. been more than 160 days since breonna taylor was killed in her own home when three plain-clothes louisville police officers executing a no knock warrant shot her to death. louisville has become a powder keg as residents wait for a decision by prosecutors there. 68 people have been arrested in protests. >>> 35 minutes past the hour at this hour. hurricane laura is rapidly gaining strength over the gulf of mexico. it is now already a category 2 nearing category 3. forecast to make landfall as a category 4 storm later today at least 300,000 people are now under evacuation orders in louisiana and texas. storm surge a big problem, live tlng the national hurricane center said through the end of the week. take a look at laura from space as the storm bears down on the gulf coast. we just got an upd

in that case the doj will be stacked with prosecutors like miss james. who needs to debate issues on the merits of guns or gun ownership when you can just tak out the opposition, take them out of the game altogether. they will go after pro-life groups, conservative think tanks , conservative radio shows, cable networks, even churches, like efforts to defund the police or tear down historical monuments, this move against th nra is a test run for broader efforts to frighten and intimidate people for exercisin their god-given rights. these are malicious marxists. they've had a lot of practice doing this. they have been burrowed into ou schools and universities for years. they have been protected by teachers unions and compliant administrators. the angle has warned you over and over again that they are no content to keep this on campus or in certain liberal cities. like an nasty pathogen, it need more hosts. it needs to go national. they will have the doj to see you come at the epa to monitor you, and the irs to audit you. they will have unlimited resources

government.ik where are the fbi and the doj? are more prosecutions coming?explain this topic more clearly than mollie hemingway. i'm going to throw it to you. what have we learned from this and what is coming? >> we already knew that kevin kleinsmith had doctored evidenci in order to illegally spy on carter page, we have the guilty plea that's coming that is showing that happens. this is the beginning of the possibility that people will be held accountable for the conspiracy to target the trump campaign through an illegal campaign to spy on the trump campaign and the trump administration, to criminally leak about them, to doctor evidence. there's a lot of wrongdoing unfortunately a lot of the wrongdoing might not meet the criminal threshold, when it does attorney general barr said people will be held accountable and when it doesn't, he said so many people within the government, the democratic party, and their coconspirators in the media were able to perpetrate this scheme against the trump administration. >> tucker: so we find apparently find, it looks like

the obama doj weapon eyes the national security apparatus of the united states to target an oppositionampaign, then the incoming transition presidency of the united states and continued with the holdovers, people like clyde smith, the first of i hope many indictments, the first of many guilty pleas, dirty cop, dirty obama fbi lawyers, we know from text messages said he was part of the resistance, they continue to try to undermine this president while he was a sitting president of the united states and furthermore we now know that joe biden was aware of all of this, he was present at that terrible january 5th, 2017, oval office meeting with the entire cast of derelicts who decided they were going to undermine the incoming president. hard for me to exaggerate how consequential this was. it's not an exaggeration to call it a coup attempt. >> this is the same day we get a bipartisan report from the senate talking about the origins of the russia investigation of the attempt by russia to connect with people in the trump campaign but here's what marco rubio had to say. we can say without hesi
